As important as water conservation is, it is also very easy. A few simple habits can signififi cantly
reduce the water consumption of a household. One way to save water is to turn off the faucet when
brushing your teeth. Also, don’t allow faucets to drip; one drip can waste a large amount of water
over a short period of time. Baths require less water than showers, so by taking a bath instead of a
shower, you can reduce the amount of water your home uses. In the kitchen, running a dishwasher
when it is completely full, rather than half full, can save up to 20 gallons a day. These simple changes
will save water and save money.
